Chapter 308 up to her place (1/2)
As the heavy rain continue to pour over City Z, Lu Tian stood outside on the balcony connected to his private house. His arm rested on the glass rail as he stares out to City Z.
Every so often, his hand would raise as he brings the cigarette to his lip.
He reaches into his coat pocket and takes his phone out. Dialing a number, be brings the phone to his ear.
The call only rang once before it is connected, and Xu Long's voice sounds from the other line.
[”Boss!”]
”Speak.”
[”Um… Boss, I did as you had ordered. I followed the lady boss, but… Well, you see, it's like this, she entered Ji Mansion.”]
Lu Tian furrow his brows as he listens. Why would his wife go to the Ji Mansion?
From the other line, Xu Long takes the silence as que to continue his report.
[”I tried to enter after, but the guard watching the gate wouldn't permit. As a result, I could only wait outside. However, the lady boss had already left and is on her way back to Jade Condos.”]
Lu Tian listened to the end, but he does not say a word.
After what felt like a long minute had pass, he only makes a mm sound and ends the call.
His hand holding the phone lowers and he stares at the picture on the screen.
It was a picture he had secretly took of his wife sleeping. She looked so peaceful that he couldn't help but capture it.
Staring at his wife's beautiful sleeping face, he starts miss her.
However, he locks the phone and put it away.
Taking a puff of the cigarette, he stares back to City Z's view and ponder in thoughts about Xu Long's report.
Ji Mansion is not a place anyone can easily enter as they please. The place is tightly secured with soldiers and highly trained guards. So…
Just as he thought this, a soft chuckle escapes his lip as he realizes something.
That's right, how could he have forgotten.
His wife is the leader of Fate. Her grandfather was the man who he once trained with when he was young at the Ji Mansion. She must have gone to visit General Ji out of respect for her deceased grandfather.
Lu Tian ends his thoughts and decides to not push it further. He kills the cigarette in his hand and without giving City Z another glance, he walks back inside.
As the rain continue to pour over City Z, the grey sky over Imperial has yet to shed its tears.
Yue Ling and Inu enters the lobby to Jade Condos.
”Miss Han, how is your afternoon?”
From behind the front desk, Manager Luo calls out as he walks to the human and beast. He held his hand behind his back and smiles.
Seeing him, Yue Ling stops and turn to face him. She smiles with a nod.
”Uncle Luo, my afternoon was great. Inu and I just returned from our little outing.”
”Ah, I see. That's good.”
Manager Luo maintained his smile and nod his head. He looks at the young woman and then the Samoyed. Knowing that Yue Ling must be tired from her day, he excuses himself.
Yue Ling bid the old man goodbye and walks in the direction of the elevator with Inu.
Once they entered and the elevator doors closed, Manager Luo takes his phone out and dials a number.
”She's going up to her place.”
Oblivious to the things happening around her, Yue Ling and Inu exit the elevator when it reached the highest floor.
Walking to her penthouse, she sees a man waiting outside by her door.
He wore a dark brown leather jacket that covers his white tshirt and black jeans. Held tightly around his arm is a white motorcycle helmet and in the other hand a plastic bag.
The man did not seem to notice Yue Ling and Inu as he whistles to himself. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”Lin Hui.”
Hearing his name called, Lin Hui turns to look at the elevator. Seeing his boss, his eyes lit up and he runs to her.
”Boss, you're here!”
He lifts his hand holding the plastic bag and grins.
”I brought food!”
Yue Ling nod her head in greeting and unlocks the door. Turning the door handle, she pushes the door open.
Inu's fluffy figure pushes pass his favorite human and rushes inside. He was extremely tired from his training, however, he is also hungry. He gobbles down his food like there is no tomorrow and drank the water at the speed of lightning.
Feeling his stomach full to the brim, he hops onto his cozy and comfortable bed. The moment his body touched the bed, his snores quickly surface, and he drifts into slumber.
”…..”
The little noble king did not realize that his actions had struck the two humans dumbfoundedly.
Yue Ling had already taken her shoes off, but when she was in the process of taking off her coat, she saw what Inu was doing. Her eye lids turned heavy and she felt embarrass that she is the mother of such creature.
Lin Hui who entered last had yet to close the door and felt his body turn heavy at the sight.
He had always thought Inu was a very well-mannered Samoyed. One who held his dignity high in the sky and makes one think of him as a king amongst beasts.
However….
All that image completely shattered with a poof.
Yue Ling shook her head and finish taking off her coat. Placing it down on one of the white couches, she walks to the kitchen.
”Coffee or tea?”
”Eh?”
Lin Hui, who was still in his own world, was quickly brought back to his five senses. He shakes his head and takes his shoes off.
”Coffee for me.”
”Mm.”
Yue Ling prepares the hot water on the stove and makes herself a cup of warm milk. As she did so, Lin Hui place the plastic bag on the dining table and sits down. He opens it and lays out the store-bought food.
The water finally boils, and Yue Ling prepares the coffee. When she finished, she hands the cup to Lin Hui as she sits on the chair across from him.
”Thanks boss!”
Lin Hui beam with joy when he felt the warmth of the cup. He didn't hesitate to drink it despite the coffee being hot.
The sweet, yet bitter sensation traveled down his body with its warmth. He felt his entire body melt like molten lava.
